All that's left to do is finish up with a few decorations!!I'll give a complete tour when I finish the decor and when we get a little sunshine:)

Sometimes you don't need to spend a million dollars to be happy.Butcher block counter tops and painted cabinets = a not too expensive cottage inspired kitchen!

Can you see the floor??I love it....I know hardwood would look pretty nice too....but there's something about the rustic feeling of the ceramic floor.

Anywho....so much work...but so worth it!!!

And now I actually enjoy cooking and being in our kitchen!Today I was feeling like a little spring salad.And one of my most favorite veggies are beets!!You either love 'em or you hate 'em....Me...I LOVE 'em:)

I love the earthy spring taste of roasted beets.

Simply slice them...

mix with a little evoo & sea salt

sprinkle a little honey on top

roast on 400 degrees for about 25 minutes or so

Make a little spring salad with

organic mixed greens

roasted beets

organic goat cheese

walnuts

and a drizzle of evoo and balsamic vinegar

I hope I haven't made this exact salad and told you about it before....if I did...I'm sorry:)

I just love these flavor combinations so much...

Simple ... good food:)

Straight from the earth!

OK ..

well there you have it!

And happy little post to brighten your Sunday!

And let's all be thankful for whatever we have especially in light of so much devastation in my home state of Indiana.

My thoughts truly go out to those devastated by the tornadoes.

It's so true in life.....you don't know what you have until it's gone.

Love & happiness for the week ahead:)~Heather

First of all, that salad looks delicious!! Secondly, your kitchen looks delightful. You're right, it's not always about the amount of money you spend, it's about the design elements that speak to your heart. I love the butcher block countertops!

The kitchen is charming! Renos are such hard work and I hope you have a million moments of happiness in your beautiful creation (it must be so rewarding!) I adore the floral mat you have added, so happy!

I"m so glad you stopped by today so I could find your awesome blog! I think your kitchen is gorgeous. I love the doors with the chalkboard painted on them, the painted cabinets, the countertops. Love it all!
